Spring Springs Earlier at National Parks: Spring is coming early to more than 200 national parks across the US thanks to climate change, according to a new reportannounced by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. This creates ideal conditions for invasive species and earlier snowmelt, and throws off pollination cycles. By looking at data over a 112-year period, researchers also found that about half the parks are experiencing “extreme” early onsets of springs, with the season starting weeks earlier than usual.
